OCEAN’S 8 Writer/Director: Gary Ross Starring: Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter, Rihanna, Sarah Paulson, Mindy Kaling, Awkwafina, Richard Armitage, Dakota Fanning It’s been a few years since I watched the Ocean’s 11 trilogy from director Steven Soderbergh. 12 and 13 may have seemed excessive, yet I welcome 8 with open arms. How can you not given its fierce cast with Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Sarah Paulson, and Helena Bonham Carter to name just a few. Bullock leads the way as Debbie Ocean who has followed in the footsteps of her big brother, Danny Ocean, the George Clooney character from Ocean’s 11.Read More →

ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS Director: James Bobin Starring: Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Sacha Baron Cohen, Anne Hathaway, Matt Lucas, Stephen Fry, Alan Rickman, Timothy Spall You can add Alice Through the Looking Glass to that growing list of sequels that are completely unnecessary and have nothing new to offer. Alice (Wasikowska) has been spending time out on the high seas as the captain of her father’s ship. When she arrives back in London, she is told she must sign away her ship for which she refuses due to the connection it has with her father. How convenient for her that throughoutRead More →

THE INTERN Writer/Director: Nancy Meyers Starring: Robert De Niro, Anne Hathaway, Andrew Rannells, Rene Russo, Adam DeVine, Jason Orley, Anders Holm, Linda Lavin I was a little surprised to find out that Oscar winners Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro have never starred together in the same movie before. They’ve worked with many of the same people before, like Meryl Streep, so it seems fitting to finally have them share the screen. They headline the latest film from Nancy Meyers, a director who’s known for writing smart, strong female characters as her leads. Hathaway plays Jules Ostin, the CEO of an e-commerce fashion website. HerRead More →

INTERSTELLAR Director: Christopher Nolan Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine, Wes Bentley, Mackenzie Foy, John Lithgow, Timothée Chalamet, David Gyasi Christopher Nolan is one of those directors whose films I go into with grand expectations. He’s that kind of director that always pushes himself to new heights with each project he tackles. I have talked about my love of The Dark Knight Trilogy multiple times before. With Interstellar, he is pioneering his biggest and most ambitious project to date. Earth is starting to see it’s final days. A steady blow of dirt makes the living conditions hardly livable and there is aRead More →

THE 19th SCREEN ACTORS GUILD AWARD WINNERS As an actor, I love watching the Screen Actors Guild Awards. I am not a member of SAG/AFTRA so I am not an actual voter, but I have some friends that are members so it was fun hearing them talk about the movies they have gotten in the mail to watch. Actors love getting these awards as they sometimes mean the most to them as they are being awarded by their fellow actors and peers. Here is a list of the winners from the 19th SAG Awards: OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A CAST IN A MOTION PICTURE The CastRead More →

THE 70th GOLDEN GLOBE AWARD WINNERS It was a big night in Hollywood as the 2013 Golden Globes were handed out by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. While it usually is a precursor to the Oscars, there is no overlap in members of the Academy and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Ben Affleck won for Best Director and he was completely left off the Oscar nomination list. Here are the winners of the Motion Picture portion of the evening: Best Motion Picture-Drama ARGO Best Motion Picture-Musical/Comedy LES MISERABLES Best Director BEN AFFLECK Best Actor-Drama DANIEL DAY-LEWIS, Lincoln Best Actress-Drama JESSICA CHASTAIN, Zero Dark Thirty BestRead More →

LES MISERABLES Director: Tom Hooper Starring: Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Eddie Redmayne, Amanda Seyfried, Samantha Barks, Sacha Baron Cohen, Helena Bonham Carter The big screen adaptation of the beloved musical by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg has finally made it to the big screen, and it has left the die-hard fans in an uproar. Did they do justice with their beloved musical? Did they cast the right actors? Are the voices good enough? Can they get the cast recording out of their head for three hours to appreciate new voices or interpretations of the songs? I have seen the stage version a coupleRead More →

THE 70th GOLDEN GLOBE AWARD NOMINATIONS The Golden Globes are another great night of rewarding the best of the silver screen over the past year. The awards are handed out by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and are typically the “party” awards. All of the nominees and presenters are basically drinking around their dinner tables all night long. It’s even better when a presenter has had too much and slurs the names he/she is reading off the teleprompter. Clink on any of the links to read my reviews of the nominated movies. Here’s a look at this year’s nominees: BEST MOTION PICTURE-DRAMA 1. ARGO 2.Read More →
